Donald Trump became the first former president to be indicted on criminal chargeson March 30, 2022.
Trump attorneys Susan Nicheles and Joe Tacopina released a statement in response: “President Trump has been indicted.
He did not commit any crime.
We will vigorously fight this political prosecution in Court.”
Trump’s wife, Melania, is reported to have strong feelings concerning the criminal legal proceedings.
Specifically, a source toldPage Sixthat Melania “wants to protect [their son] Barron.”
“[Melania] hasn’t been coming out for the dinners and events at Mar-a-Lago.
[Donald] is acting like everything is normal, but she hasn’t been social.”
Melania’s priorities are apparently set on guarding Barron against the fallout of these legal woes.
“Barron has always been a first priority in [Melania’s] life,” the source continued.
She has always put him first.
She is a good mother."
Melania pays close attention to her son, and this legal whirlwind seems to be intensifying that trait.
That does not mean all is well within Mar-a-Lago between the Trumps.
“[Melania] doesn’t sympathize with Donald’s plight,” a source told People.
“They would not skip his birthday over legal issues,” the source toldPeople.
However, the source said that Melania’s support system is mainly comprised of her side of the family.
Her Slovenian parents live with the Trumps at Mar-a-Lago, perthe Mercury News.
“She has her son and other close family members.
They are tribe-like and usually stick together.
Despite what happens to Donald, she will be fine.
She is well taken care of.”
“And they all speak Slovenian.”
Nonetheless, his family keeps him close.
“Barron is a sweet boy who has a loving family around him,” the source said.
His mom is protective of him, but he is free around Mar-a-Lago.
They are low-key with their socializing."
